So as I'm pulling out of a parking lot today
Some huge SUV comes whipping behind my preventing me from pulling out. He was doing like 50k in the parking lot...I was thinking, "What kinda fucking assbag does 50km in a parking lot"
Then I saw it had a Florida license plate....

You orange hordin'bastards...you're all like that aren't you!?

1. yes they are
I ride a scooter amongst all those assbags, which means I spend a good portion of every day almost getting killed. Trust me, Floridians are for the most part all self-centered, AOL link-clicking retards.

2. I hate it when
Large trucks or Suv's pull up in the left lane next to you as you are trying to make a right turn. they just totally block your view of the ongoing traffic so that you can't make your damn turn.

9. That is a pain...
We get that constantly, although once I was blocked by a large 4X crewcab...who immediately backed up a couple feet, since he is a neighbor who is thoughtful like that! :thumbsup: You can shadow them, if they are turning the same way you are, if someone gets hit, it will be them first.

11. Yes!
I want to toss a small grenade underneath those vehicles. And there's NO NEED for them to do that, because they can see over my wimpy little Subaru, but I can't see around, over, or through them, at least if they have those dark tinted windows.

Aaarrrrghhh!

4. Oh, heck...they ALL drive like that in Florida...
Yet ANOTHER reason why that promo campaign the state tourism division did a few years ago was never truer..."This is Florida; the rules are different here!" (Produced pre-Katherine Harris/hanging chad, at that!) :eyes:

BTW, 50 km/h is around 35 mph, isn't it? Dang, he WAS flying in a parking lot!:eyes:

B-)

6. What you might think of as a "Floridian" isn't necessarily.........
a Floridian. I read somewhere that less than 25% of the Florida population over age 25 was actually born there. Most of the adults are actually from places like Michigan, New York, Cuba or Mexico. Hell, even the so-called governor is from Texas.

of America. Bush sets the tone, freepers just follow. Be nice, be kind, they're just moranic lemmings.

Yesterday I got out of the way of a Silver Navigator so he could do 35mph in a school zone. He had a disabled tag hanging from the mirror. I guess he wants to spead the joy.

13. hey I'm from Florida
and I drive like an old lady.

I hate when people speed in a parking lot, it's the stupidist place to speed. Haven't these people figured out by now that the most likely place for stray, random pedestrians to be is a parking lot? And think about little kids who are not paying attention. When they speed through parking lots they greatly increase the chances of killing someone. But I guess they don't care about that.

14. Floridians can't drive in the mountains
I used to get stuck behind them in the NC mountains. The steep hills and curves freak them bastids out and they are scared to get too close to the side.
